Chiefs vs. 49ers live stream starts soon and it is set to be the latest unofficial preseason quarterback competition. The question now in San Francisco is Jimmy Garoppolo or Trey Lance leading the Niners offense to run this season. The answers begin to form in this NFL Live Stream.

When the 49ers selected Trey Lance with the third overall pick in the April draft, they expected two things; that they had found a franchise guy and that he would fit the NFL quarterback position trend perfectly. Young athletic QBs are taking the league by storm.

They are no longer just running QBs or pocket passers. They are players who can do it all. Like Trey Lance at the University of North Dakota or the guy who is changing his game more and more each season in the NFL.

Patrick Mahomes is now the NFL standard, and every NFL team is looking for the "next Mahomes." A player who throws in the pocket, buys time with his feet, runs for first downs, and has the presence of mind to throw down when there is no play. Good luck to all GMs around the league.

Kansas City's Andy Reid is entering his 23rd season as head coach. With two Super Bowl appearances under his belt, the 25-year-old quarterback is the best player in the game today.

The 49ers host the Chiefs as 2.5-point favorites. The over/under is 39.

Depending on whether you are in these markets, these games will be available on most cable packages and at least one of two streaming services we like: fuboTV and Sling TV.

A more comprehensive package comes from fuboTV: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC, and the NFL Network. This is why it is one of the best streaming services.
